Title: On the Use of Channel Bindings to Secure Channels
State: Active
Authors: Nicolas Williams
Group: Network File System Version 4 (nfsv4)
Date: 2004-07-16
This document defines and formalizes the concept of channel bindings to
secure layers and defines the actual contents of channel bindings for
several secure channels. The concept of channel bindings allows
applications to prove that the end-points of two secure channels at
different network layers are the same by binding authentication at one
channel to the session protection at the other channel. The use of channel
bindings allows applications to delegate session protection to lower
layers, which may significantly improve performance for some applications.
